I had the pleasure of seeing The Foo Fighters documentary Back and Forth yesterday in a one night only screening, followed by a full album performance broadcast yesterday at Empire Studios in Square One. The screening, having taken place live a week previous in the US and other countries, had its Canadian premiere last night at 7.

The documentary was very intimate, honest and beautiful put together. In usual "rockumentary" format it went through the band's history, starting from the split up of Nirvana to coming and going of different Foo members. It finished up with a look at the recording of Wasting Light, which the band recorded (on tape) in Grohl's garage.
Rating for the entire experience: 8.5/10
Only complaint: watching a live recorded performance in a hot packed theatre, seated, was a bit awkward. But interesting none the less.
I am a happy girl.
